In all applications (KWord, OpenOffice, Konqueror, kedit, gedit, dia, ...) accelerator values such as Ctrl+A don't work if the language chosen is not English and “Enable keyboard layouts” is checked in KDE Control Center (kcontrol). Hence, if I was writing in Arabic, I can't use Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+A, ... to copy, paste, select all, ... respectively!! Everything works fine if keyboarddrake, from Mandrake Control Center, is used to set the language but there is no option to display an icon to switch the language in kicker then.
